Therefore, the extended roll is faster if you have enough room to keep rolling the whole time. In that case, you want to hold down Y so you get your speed boost right away, since you won't be able to keep it for long. However, this does not apply if you have to interrupt your roll early - with a jump to reach a platform, for example.

Because rolling only lasts for a short period of time, doing an extended roll will ultimately make you faster, because you get the duration of a full roll with the increased speed on top of the longer roll from rolling through enemies. This trick lets us do two things: first, it lets us manipulate when we want to gain speed during a roll. This does not work if you roll through multiple enemies with the button released, though - so for an optimal extended roll through multiple enemies, you want to hold down Y while rolling through all but the last one. For example, if you press Y to roll, go through an enemy with the button released, then repress it a moment later, you will gain speed up to 1408. If you press Y again before that same roll ends, however, you will get the speed boost and restart the duration of your roll. If you let go of the Y button when you roll into an enemy, you will not gain the speed boost right away. The speed boosts above only apply if you are holding down Y when you roll into the enemy. This lies in tandem with another technique: the extended roll. Rolling through a line of enemies not only lets you roll longer it makes you faster, too. After 4 enemies: 2048 | 2048 (this is the max).

You will accelerate up to a set max speed when rolling through a series of enemies each enemy will increase this max, up to four. There are a few different ways to gain speed when rolling through enemies. The duration of the roll isn't the only thing you need to focus on. "I've always dreamed of being faster than the camera." Certain spots can stop your roll early, however, and falling off a cliff at the very end of a roll will leave you plummeting straight downwards, so you'll have to be accurate and consistent to achieve the same roll through multiple attempts. This can be used in conjunction with enemies to keep your roll going through large areas of a stage. If you time your rolls correctly, you can maintain your speed for a long period of time. The distance you travel is always the same on a normal roll however, if you fall off an edge, you will keep rolling until you hit the ground (you keep speed while in the air), and then the normal roll distance after that. Rolling without going through an enemy will cause Diddy and Donkey to stop in place for a moment at the end of the roll, so normally you need to jump at the end to keep yourself going.Īnother way to increase the length of a roll is to drop to a lower part of the stage. Additionally, rolling through any amount of enemies will remove the delay at the end of roll, so you can simply keep moving forward at the end of it. A long line of enemies can be used to keep uptime on your roll and let you breeze through an area at a much faster speed than running. The most basic - and probably most important - thing to note is that each enemy you roll through will extend the duration of your roll. "That's a tasty single-file line you have there." As such, knowing enemy placement and how different parts of the stage can affect the Kongs' roll is very important. DKC is primarily based around speeding yourself up through tight maneuvering and tricks to gain speed, so rolling as often as possible and using enemies and the terrain to your advantage is key. Any time not spent rolling is generally better spent rolling. It's faster than running or jumping and generally does a better job of dispatching enemies and getting over gaps than the jump alone.
